In case you missed the news, another big name (not in security) got hacked this week. This time it was Wordpress, the guys that host and provide the software for many popular blog sites.
This on the heels of the recent news of the Epsilon breach, has a lot of IT admins on edge, wondering if their own web servers are safe.
It's a good reminder to look into reverse proxies and web application firewalls, the devices that are designed to keep the corporate web server safe. It was the fact that Barracuda took down their web application firewall that led to their security breach. Getting a reverse proxy or web application firewall in of itself probably isn't enough to call yourself secure, you also need to make sure the software on your webserver is up-to-date, and review any code you're running on your webserver.
